Alec and Hilaria Baldwin fans think baby number EIGHT is on the way after shocking 'dirty dancing' video
The 67-year-old actor and his 41-year-old wife put on an amorous display in an Instagram reel as Hilaria dramatically danced to the Celine Dion ballad The Power of Love.
The footage, shared on Wednesday, showed the mother-of-seven throwing her smooth, toned legs over her husband as he sat in a chair and admired her.
Her feet were splayed on his chest as she wrote in the caption, 'Foot rub time…makes sense to me.'
Followers flocked to the comments, with one writing, 'He was looking like he was gonna make baby #8.'
Another fan had the same idea, adding, 'Here comes baby #8!'
And another encouraging fan wrote, 'You promised him a life of fun after the storm, and you are delivering it like a boss,' referring to the dark time in Alec's life following the accidental fatal shooting of his Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021.
Another person was critical, however, adding, 'Not sure why you need all this attention. It's too much!'
The comment was liked 134 times from agreeing social media users.
Hilaria has proudly and dutifully stood by her husband's side in the wake of his nightmare workplace tragedy.
After Halyna died at the hands of Alec as he pulled the trigger of what was supposed to be a stunt gun, New Mexico prosecutors put him on trial.
The actor went on trial for involuntary manslaughter in July 2024, but only three days in the judge dismissed the case permanently after it was discovered the prosecutors had failed to turn over potentially exculpatory evidence to his defense team.
In January, the father-of-eight, who shares his oldest child with ex-wife Kim Basinger, filed a lawsuit against his prosecutors.
But this week documents obtained by Daily Mail indicated that the case was thrown out because there had been no progress on it in months.

Alec's attorney, Luke Nikas, told the Daily Mail the judge's decision to dismiss the case is a 'non-event.'
'The court dismissed the matter without prejudice because we have been waiting to prosecute the case,' said Nikas, who is a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.
'We have been in good-faith settlement discussions with the parties to the lawsuit, and will be refiling promptly if those discussions are not promptly and favorably resolved,' he added.
On Instagram in December 2021, Alec paid tribute to his wife with a touching post as he shared a single image of him holding one of their sons.
He wrote, 'No matter what happens to me. No matter what I suffer. If I win or lose, anything. Anything. No one can take away from me the joy and love you have given me.'
The couple married in 2012 and share Carmen, 12 in August, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, nine, Romeo, seven, twins Eduardo and Maria, four, and Ilaria, two.

Inside the downfall of Bobbi Althoff as viral sensation quits her podcast following divorce drama and backlash
She's the monotone momfluencer who became an internet sensation thanks to her awkward interviews with rap royalty. But now, Bobbi Althoff's brand of blasé humor may have finally run its course. Last week, the 27-year-old announced the end of her once-popular podcast, The Really Good Podcast. 'I didn't know I'd fall off as quickly as I did. To be honest, I did think this was going to last a bit longer,' she admitted in the final episode. 'But nevertheless, it lasted a minute and I'm proud of the accomplishments I had and I'm pretty sad that it has to end like this but it's okay.' It comes just over two years after Althoff's deadpan interview with Drake turned her into one of the biggest stars on the internet. The interview, which was released in July 2023, racked up close to 10 million views in just one month and turned the mom-of-two into social media's most viral comedian. Interviews with Mark Cuban, Offset, Scarlett Johansson, Shaquille O'Neal soon followed, as well as lucrative brand deals and a spot on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. However, Bobbi's rise to fame has been far from smooth sailing, with the influencer sparking waves of backlash almost immediately after her breakout moment. The first hiccup was a public falling out with Drake, which led to their viral episode being wiped from Althoff's channel. The pair unfollowed each other on social media and in 2024 Althoff was allegedly removed from the rapper's after party at the South by Southwest festival in Texas. Around the same time, she was accused by critics of being an 'industry plant,' due to the fact that she'd been able to start booking A-list guests on her podcast so soon. Althoff jokingly confirmed to Keke Palmer that she was an industry plant in a podcast interview last year, and has also made light of the accusations on TikTok before. Her personal life then took a serious hit in February 2024 when her husband Cory filed for divorce after four years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. He listed their official separation date as July, 2023, which aligned with the timing of her viral Drake interview. The split led to the star being trolled on social media, which she addressed in a fiery post last year. 'Do you really believe that it was my dream in life to be a divorced mom of two kids by 25? Obviously not,' she wrote. 'I'm obviously insecure about it and wish things played out differently in my life. But that's life, things don't always end up how we expect them to.' Around the same time, she was seen partying in a Nashville nightclub with comedian Ben Da Donnn, just moments before being carried out slumped over the shoulder of an NFL star. Althoff was also forced to deny cruel claims by trolls that she had been sleeping with her male podcast guests and that it had contributed to the demise of her marriage. 'I never respond to this comment that I've been getting a million times a day for the last year, but I am really sick of seeing it,' she raged. 'Anyone who says stuff like this is so f****** ignorant. You don't know why my marriage ended, that we are both so much happier apart than we ever were together. That now our kids get to see two happy parents instead of zero.' She continued, 'I have never slept with someone I interviewed. I don't sleep around and I rarely ever go out. But you guys can't f****** believe that a woman can be around men without sleeping with them.' Althoff was also forced to deny cruel claims by trolls that she had been sleeping with her male podcast guests and that it had contributed to the demise of her marriage Now Althoff is officially ending her podcast, despite signing a new deal for the show with Studio71 just last year. 'This is a good reminder that all bad things do come to an end,' one listener wrote on YouTube. 'Honestly, I'm not surprised by your downfall,' another commented, while a third wrote, 'Wow she really wasn't joking when she said she fell off. The difference in the numbers compared to just a year ago is staggering.' According to The Hollywood Reporter, Althoff is now working on a TV comedy series after landing a development deal for her own show. But Althoff isn't the only viral influencer to see their fifteen minutes of fame come to an end. Haliey Welch, better known as 'the hawk tuah girl,' has seen a huge dip in her own popularity following her highly publicized crypto scandal. Her hit Talk Tuah podcast went on hiatus following the fallout from the scandal, and since returning the viewers and downloads have noticeably decreased compared to before. In an interview with Vanity Fair in May, the 22-year-old said that her feelings had been 'hurt' by the controversy, which resulted in many of her fans losing money on her ill-fated $HAWK memecoin. 'Half of those people that done it were, like, my fans. They trusted me, like, guiding them to it,' she told the publication. 'And I don't know… it really hurt my feelings when it turned out the way it did. I wish it hadn't have happened.' Elaborating further, Welch admitted that she didn't really even 'understand' crypto but had learned a valuable lesson from the ordeal. 'You got to be really careful what you tie your name to, and you definitely need to know what you're getting yourself into when you agree to do it. That's something I definitely should have done beforehand,' she said. 'I just feel really bad for anybody that lost money. All my comments, if you read those, people are like, "Oh, well, I lost a lot of money in this. Now my kids have to go without stuff." I don't know. It makes me feel, like, really sorry for it.' The group behind the social media star's memecoin - which dramatically crashed just hours after its launch - was sued last year after failing to register the cryptocurrency, according to court records. Although Welch herself wasn't named in the lawsuit, the backlash she received following the crypto crash caused her to exit the public eye for months.

Stephen Colbert: ‘What you thought you knew is just history'
Late-night hosts dig into Donald Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner and an unnerving story about radioactive wasps. 'You know something? No, you don't,' said Stephen Colbert on Monday's Late Show. 'Because things cannot be known any more. What you thought you knew is just history.' Especially history, as the Smithsonian removed Trump from the impeachment exhibit in the American history exam. 'Oh, now you care about what's in the American history museum!' Colbert joked to loud boos from the crowd. 'Where was that enthusiasm when dad worked so hard to plan the family trip to DC?' The museum reportedly removed a label noting both of Trump's impeachments – for bribing Ukraine, and for his role in the January 6 riots – after pressure from a White House content review. 'That kind of pressure explains why the Smithsonian exhibit of the 1960s now says that the Vietnam war was started by Jimmy Kimmel,' Colbert joked. The exhibit now says that 'only three presidents have seriously faced removal', instead of four. 'Come on! If you're going to completely make up presidential history, make it fun,' said Colbert. A new report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics also confirmed that Trump has overseen the worst period of US job growth since the pandemic. So naturally, Trump responded by firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 'No, you fool! Now there's one less job,' Colbert joked. 'But it makes sense – he fires anyone who gives him bad news.' 'Here's the problem with this: having people in the government who know stuff is pretty important,' Colbert added. 'If Trump starts fudging the job numbers it could backfire, by eroding the trust of investors, companies and organizations.' In other Trump news, the White House unveiled plans for a new $200m ballroom, with gold chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows. 'Presidents are allowed to do a little renovation, of course. The Obamas added a vegetable garden. Truman and Nixon both added bowling lanes and Jimmy Carter famously added a sex dungeon,' Colbert joked. But Trump has already paved over the historic rose garden with concrete, to make room for more seating. 'It reminds me of the poem,' Colbert laughed. 'Roses are red. Concrete is white. This place looks like shit now.' And on Late Night, Seth Meyers reacted to a report that a radioactive wasp nest was found at a site in South Carolina that once made nuclear bomb material. The nest reportedly had nuclear contamination levels 10 times higher than what is allowed by regulations. 'I guess my bug spray is going to continue to not work,' Meyers joked. 'I have so many questions,' he continued. 'What do you mean 10 times higher than what's allowed? I wasn't aware there was a certain level of radiation that's allowed for wasps. Is there like a sweet spot level that is low enough not to kill us all but high enough that if a kid on a field trip gets bitten he might turn into a superhero?' 'If I've spent too much time on this wasp story, it's because the rest of the news is shit and I'm stalling,' he added, moving to the next worse story: a product recall of High Noon vodka sodas mislabeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz energy drinks. 'If you can't trust Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz, who can you trust?' Meyers quipped. 'Because, you know, I care about what I put in my body. So when I throw back a Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz, I want to know it has the stuff I care about. Like blue, and razz. Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz might be what made the wasps radioactive?' 'I think we should embrace this combo moving forward, because the two things I need living in these trying times are energy and to be a little bit drunk.' Meyers also touched on the news that Trump fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after his report found that US jobs growth had basically ground to a halt. 'Trump doesn't know how to solve a problem. He only knows how to cover it up,' Meyers said. 'And that's the hallmark of a corrupt autocracy. When the numbers are bad, just fire the people in charge of the numbers. If you're caught up in a scandal, dangle a pardon to get out of it.' But 'the problem is it's backfiring', he concluded. 'These stories won't go away. That's why Trump always looks like a guy who's been stung by a thousand radioactive wasps.'

US House committee issues subpoenas for Epstein files and Clinton depositions
The US House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the Justice Department on Tuesday for files in the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, part of a congressional probe that politicians believe may show links to President Donald Trump and other former top officials. The Republican-controlled committee also issued subpoenas for depositions with former president Bill Clinton, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and eight former top law enforcement officials. Advertisement The committee's actions showed how even with members away from Washington on a monthlong break, interest in the Epstein files is still running high. Mr Trump has repeatedly tried to move past the Justice Department's decision not to release a full accounting of the investigation, but politicians from both major political parties, as well as many in the Republican president's political base, have refused to let it go. US President Donald Trump speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania on Sunday (Julia Demaree Nikhinson/AP) Since Epstein's 2019 death in a New York jail cell as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges, conservative conspiracists have stoked theories about what information investigators gathered on Epstein – and who else could have been involved. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee nodded to that line of questioning last month by initiating the subpoenas for the Clintons, both Democrats, as well as demanding all communications between former president Joe Biden's Democratic administration and the Justice Department regarding Epstein. Advertisement The committee is also demanding interviews under oath from former attorneys general spanning the last three presidential administrations: Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder and Alberto Gonzales. Also subpoenaed were former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. However, it was Democrats who sparked the move to subpoena the Justice Department for its files on Epstein. They were joined by some Republicans to initiate successfully the subpoena through a subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee. 'Democrats are focused on transparency and are pushing back against the corruption of Donald Trump,' Robert Garcia, who is the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, told reporters last month. 'What is Donald Trump hiding that he won't release the Epstein files?' Advertisement The committee had previously issued a subpoena for an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend, who had been serving a prison sentence in Florida for luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the wealthy financier but was recently transferred to a Texas facility. However, the committee's Republican chairman, James Comer, has indicated he is willing to delay that deposition until after the Supreme Court decides whether to hear an appeal to her conviction. She argues she was wrongfully prosecuted.
